Wii budget line 'Nintendo Selects' coming soon

Nintendo will soon launch a series of Wii titles at budget prices under the Nintendo Selects line, it has been announced.

The first four titles to be included as Nintendo Selects will be Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wii Sports. All Nintendo Selects will be priced at $19.99 (£12.13).

This will mark the first time Wii Sports has been sold on its own at retail. Mario Kart Wii will replace Wii Sports as a pack-in title included with every Wii system later this month. It is rumored that the Wii will drop in price to $150 (£92) to coincide with the new hardware bundle.

Nintendo has not yet confirmed the Nintendo Selects line for Europe, but is expected to begin in the US later this month.
